Kratos Defense's Segment Strengthens Role in Critical Defense Domain
KTOS
) is steadily growing its presence in the defense technologies space through its Kratos Government Solutions (KGS) segment. KGS provides a wide range of advanced systems like C5ISR solutions, satellite communications, microwave products, space and cyber systems, turbine technologies and defense rocket support services, which support U.S. and allied military missions.
KGS also delivers secure, reliable communication networks and advanced satellite ground systems. These are critical for ensuring uninterrupted intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations. The segment also develops hypersonic-related technologies and is a prime contractor for the MACH TB (Multi-Service Advanced Capability Hypersonic Test Bed) program.
As global security challenges rise and defense modernization speeds up, KGS' products and services are expected to gain more traction. Moreover, the recent acquisition of certain assets from Norden Millimeter, Inc. has further improved KGS's microwave and Radio Frequency Capabilities, allowing it to offer even stronger defense solutions.
In the second quarter of 2025, KGS revenues rose 29.9% from the previous year to $278.3 million, supported by growth across all business areas and benefits from the Norden acquisition. This result highlights KGS' solid performance and should play a key role in Kratos Defense's long-term growth story.
Peers Warranting a Look
As defense priorities include secure communications, advanced missile and electronic support, other defense contractors like Lockheed Martin Corporation (
LMT
) and RTX Corporation (
RTX
) also warrant a look.

RTX focuses on providing integrated defense systems, radar and missile warning systems that improve situational awareness and threat detection. Its Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance systems and multi-mission sensors are critical to both U.S. and international defense operations.

All dollar figures are reported in United States dollars (' USD '), unless otherwise stated. Article content Q2-2025 Financial and Operating Highlights Article content Article content 97% increase in revenue to $615k (CAD$850k), for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. 173% increase in revenue to $2.2 million (CAD$3.1 million), for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024. As at August 11, 2025, Realbotix held cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million (CAD$8.3 million) with an estimated budgeted monthly cash burn of $385k, excluding unforeseen unique expenses that may arise. On May 13, 2025, Realbotix announced a collaboration with Tix4 to deploy an AI powered customer service humanoid robot, running concierge and ticketing AI, as a Tix4 sales representative. This robotic customer service representative was showcased live at The Venetian Resort, Las Vegas, from May 27 to 29, 2025. On May 27, 2025, Realbotix robot 'Melody' was launched and acted as a greeter at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas at the Venetian Expo offering conference attendees directions, speaker schedule, and booth locations. On July 7, 2025, Realbotix announced a new AI development with its robot able to communicate fluently in 15 major languages, with access to more than 147 additional languages and dialects through cloud-based support. On August 5, 2025 Realbotix launched a public activation of its robot 'Melody', who acted as a customer service representative at the Tix4 kiosk in a high traffic tourist location offering information and ticket sales to popular Las Vegas shows and attractions. On August 7, 2025, Realbotix collaborated with Radium to power real-time AI companions on serverless infrastructure, and deliver lightning-fast conversations for its next-generation robotic companions. Article content 'While we are pleased to see gaining traction on robot sales, our focus in 2025 is on building the business, showcasing our robots and AI, establishing partnerships for the future, and having meaningful acceleration of sales into 2026 and beyond,' said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix. 'Realbotix has established meaningful relationships and is laying the groundwork for more collaborations as we roll out our updated robot and AI technology. With a healthy fiat cash balance in-hand, the funding of the near-term future growth of the business is budgeted.' Article content Corporate Treasury and Cryptocurrency Update Article content As previously disclosed, Realbotix has been systematically disposing of its liquid cryptocurrency holdings to fund working capital and to reserve sufficient fiat capital for its ongoing operations. As a result, the Company has sold all of its liquid digital assets as of August 11, 2025. In addition, as at August 11, Realbotix holds cash and cash equivalents of $6.0 million (CAD$8.3 million). Article content The Company currently has a monthly cash burn rate of approximately $385,000, assuming current overheads and excluding any unforeseen unique items that may arise. At current operating budget, Realbotix has in excess of 12 months of capital to meet its business requirements. While management prudently manages company expenses, the Company may look to expand its monthly burn if there is a visible return on the use of that capital. The Company does not undertake to update this forward-looking information except as required by law. Article content While the Company had utilized cryptocurrencies as a treasury asset in the past, the volatility inherent in digital assets made it difficult for management to accurately budget for future growth that is capital intensive. Management believes this is the most prudent way to successfully finance the building of its robotics and AI business. In the future, the Company may seek to re-establish a crypto treasury strategy. Article content The Company still has approximately 65 ETH and 9,100 SOL still under receivership with Genesis Global Trading (' Genesis '), with an approximate value, as of August 11, 2025, of $1.9 million and 1,111,111,111 Blaze token with approximate value of $31k. As a result of the uncertainty in collecting the value of these digital assets, they are carried at zero value on the Company's balance sheet. Genesis is undergoing a restructuring and there can be no assurances that Realbotix will be able to realize any value on those digital assets. Article content A complete financial reporting package, including the Interim Financial Statements and Management's Discussion & Analysis, is available on the SEDAR+ website ( Article content An investor call has been scheduled to discuss the Company's Q3-2025 financial results, hosted by CEO Andrew Kiguel, starting at 1:00 pm ET on August 14, 2025.
